U.S : Tweet this to hold BREONNA's murderers accountable !

 

 

 

Dear friend,

 

 

 

 

The officers who killed Breonna Taylor are still free, but there's more to do to hold the Louisville Metro Police Department accountable. We have the power to cut off the department's funding, starting with corporations who support it.

LMPD officers gave contradicting accounts of the night they killed Breonna.¹ They refused to announce themselves before breaking into her home, but claimed otherwise.²They knew Breonna was still alive after they shot her, but they refused to call for medical care and let her struggle for at least five minutes.³ They terrorized protesters demanding justice for Breonna, but allowed racist white militia in Louisville to break city curfew.⁴

 

For these reasons and more, funding to the LMPD must be stopped. UPS, Humana, and Kroger have employees on the board of the Louisville Metro Police Foundation, which funnels dark money to the LMPD.⁵ Tens of thousands of people have already signed the petition demanding LMPD's corporate sponsors divest from LMPD.

 

Since protests around Breonna's killing erupted, these companies have been scrambling to show they support the movement against racist police terror. Will you call them out for not doing enough and push them to stop supporting the LMPD ? They pay close attention on Twitter.
